Just like the Bonda Elder Woman, this old woman from one of the Gadaba villages around Onukudelli, had the confidence of a person with wisdom. She greeted us with the dignity of an elder woman.

The Gabada tribe is reckoned as one of the oldest and jovial tribes in India. It is believed that they have their ancestral home in the north Vindhya mountain ranges. In fact Gabada has got a link with Gada, which is a name of brook or a streamlet found in this portion of the Indian Territory.

The Gadaba village was quite close to the main county town, so the outfit of this old lady doesn’t typically represent the original Gadaba costume.

Photos of Gadabas with original looks will be posted later.
